Chapter 353: birdcage Decisive Battle (III)Dressrosa Palace.Donquixote Doflamingo's figure crawled out from the ruins once again.This time, he looked much more wretched.His proud muscles were covered in small cuts torn by shockwaves, and his whole person was like a rag doll that had been tossed into a tumble dryer for ten minutes.But the smile on his face grew more brilliant and more twisted."Fuffuffu... Fuhahahaha... Cough, cough, cough!"He laughed, but it agitated his internal injuries, causing him to cough violently and spit out a mouthful of black blood containing bits of internal organs."Tremor-Tremor Fruit... what a... what an incredible power!"Doflamingo raised his head, his eyes no longer blocked by sunglasses, locking onto the unscathed Sabo, a madness bordering on worship burning in his eyes."Revolutionary Army, Dragon's apprentice, Ace's brother, and now you've eaten Whitebeard's fruit... Sabo, you bastard, just how much of this era's 'providence' have you gathered! You're practically the chosen one, the meta answer!"Sabo just watched him quietly, his eyes showing no ripple of emotion.That calm appearance was as if he were looking at a prisoner who had already been sentenced to death, with only a few minutes left to jump around."Doflamingo."Sabo spoke, his voice not loud, yet it clearly masked the surrounding sound of rain and thunder."You enslaved Dressrosa for ten years, using Sugar's ability to turn countless citizens into toys, erasing the traces of their existence.""You sold weapons to countries around the world, incited wars, made huge profits from them, and caused countless families to be destroyed.""You privately researched Artificial Devil Fruits, formed an army of ability users, and supplied Four Emperors Kaido, wanting to subvert the balance of the entire world."With every word Sabo spoke, he took a step forward.The aura on him also climbed layer by layer; that magnificent momentum belonging to the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, who wanted to overthrow the entire old world, was like an invisible mountain pressing down towards Doflamingo."The crimes you have committed are too many to count."Sabo stopped his steps, less than ten meters away from Doflamingo.He raised the steel pipe in his hand, pointing it at the other from afar, making the final judgment."Unforgivable, your crimes deserve death!""Execute me?"Doflamingo seemed to have heard the funniest joke of the century and burst into wild laughter once again."Fuhahahahaha! Sabo! Are you telling a joke?! Just with that naive and ridiculous 'justice' you learned from your old man, Dragon?!"He stuck out his tongue, licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, his face full of mockery."Enslavement? What a joke! Before I came, what kind of shithole was this country?""That idiot King Riku, what else could he do besides kneeling and praying?...It was I, Donquixote Doflamingo, who gave this country false prosperity!""It was I who gave those commoners a dream of living in peace and contentment! They should thank me! If anyone is to blame, it's that useless waste King Riku for being too incompetent to even protect his own throne!"Doflamingo's tone suddenly rose, filled with unquestionable arrogance."As for weapon sales, slave trade... fuffuffu, what is there to say?""Hasn't this world always been about the survival of the fittest? The strong have everything, the weak lose everything—this is the eternal truth since ancient times!"His gaze swept over Sabo, full of disdain."Don't talk to me about justice or benevolent rule! Those are just excuses losers use to gloss over their own incompetence!""Brat, remember this well—"Doflamingo spread his arms like a cult leader, proclaiming his creed to the whole world."On this sea, only the winner is justice!!!"Sabo fell silent.He looked at the man before him who had completely gone mad, rationalizing all his crimes with a set of twisted logic, and slowly lowered the steel pipe in his hand.With this kind of person, there was no reason left to talk.Words cannot convince a madman.Only one thing can make him shut up.And that is, fists."Is that so."Sabo softly uttered those words.In the next second, his entire aura completely changed.If just now he was like a judge, then at this moment, he was a pure natural disaster born for destruction!Hum—Invisible vibrations centered on Sabo and spread outwards.The ground beneath his feet, those hard palace stone slabs, were like a water surface with a stone thrown in, rippling with visible circles.He raised his right hand, fingers spread wide in the shape of a Dragon's Claw.On his arm, pitch-black Armament Haki spread like ink, covering it.And in his palm, a fist-sized energy ball emitting a white glow was rapidly condensing.That was the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, highly compressed and condensed using the techniques of the Dragon Claw Fist!The air was wailing, and space was distorting.The entire Kings Plateau was trembling before this power.The smile on Doflamingo's face instantly froze.From that small white light ball, he smelled the scent of death, enough to completely erase himself, along with this palace and the entire Kings Plateau, from the world."Want to kill me?!"A hysterical fierce light erupted in Doflamingo's eyes."Then come and try it!!!"He slammed his feet onto the ground, squeezing out his last Haki and stamina without reservation!"God Execution!!!"With his final roar, the palace ruins for a hundred meters behind him, all the broken walls and debris, instantly turned into white threads!Billions of threads soared into the sky, then like a white meteor shower, converged towards Doflamingo's body!They wound, compressed, and wove together, forming a massive white lance a hundred meters long, entirely wrapped in pitch-black Haki and awakening power!The tip of the lance was aimed far off at Sabo's heart!On one side, a Dragon's Claw capable of shattering space and destroying all things.On the other side, a holy lance capable of piercing heaven and earth and slaying gods and Buddhas.Two forces representing the world's top-tier destructive power were about to have the most brilliant and lethal collision at the top of Kings Plateau!However—Right at this critical moment!A faint blue light lit up between the two without any warning."ROOM..."A cold, hoarse voice filled with bone-deep hatred seemed to come from another dimension.Immediately after, a brilliant blue light shadow, like a meteor falling from an alternate space, crashed into the ground between the two!Boom!!!!!!With the impact point of that light shadow as the center, the ground instantly collapsed downwards, and a huge crater over fifty meters in diameter appeared out of thin air!A terrifying shockwave turned into a physical air blast, madly sweeping towards the surroundings!Sabo and Doflamingo, who were just about to strike, were simultaneously blown away by this sudden massive force!Sabo performed a roll in the air and landed steadily, but his gaze towards the center of the crater also carried a hint of astonishment.Dust erupted, obscuring everyone's vision.Rain mixed with dust, falling as mud.When the dust slowly cleared.The scene in the arena caused both Sabo's and Doflamingo's pupils to shrink suddenly.In the very center of that huge crater, an incredibly long Tachi was deeply and vertically plunged into the earth.The blade was slender, a strange blackish-purple color, covered with a fluffy white guard, and a small red charm was tied to the end of the hilt.At this moment, wisps of cyan lightning were swirling around the blade, reflecting the blue spatial ripples constantly spreading from the hilt, forming an eerie yet powerful aesthetic.It just stood there.Like an uncrossable chasm, clearly separating Saboand Doflamingo.Sabo's gaze became playful.As for Doflamingo, the moment he clearly saw that sword, he looked as if he had been struck by lightning; the expression on his face changed from madness, anger, and unwillingness, finally turning into an unbelievable horror mixed with extreme hatred!"This... this is..."His lips were trembling, his teeth chattering, and he squeezed out two words from deep in his throat."This sword...""kikoku!!!"
